This would be my first Jaguar and it has to be a V8 - not fussed about AWD vs RWD, but has to be convertible.

My reason? I've always loved the looks and the noise. My dad has an Italian Red RWD V8 and after driving it I have hankered for one.

I've always been a BMW fan and currently have an M2 Competition and an M Coupe (breadvan) so would love to add a convertible to the fleet. Also on top of the couple of motorbikes

Anyway, hopefully I'll have one soon!

Welcome!

It will certainly be a very different driving experience to a BM.
Great looks, and the convertible makes the most of that awesome noise ๐Ÿ˜Ž
Oh, and be prepared to get smiled at when out driving and let in at junctions too ๐Ÿ˜‰

Welcome and enjoy the search for one.
Lot of knowledge here to help you find the right one and what to look out for
As said by others you'll find it very different to a BMW. I came from a Z4 and although I miss it wouldn't go back.

Hey Yocky, that was a bit of a surprise! She won't drive it, she doesn't like autos!
